How do I contact the shelter about Samuel?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fundacja Puszatek handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Samuel on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Samuel if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fundacja Puszatek will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Samuel already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.

What happens if Samuel isn't the right fit?

Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Fundacja Puszatek early rather than rehoming privately; they know Samuel and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (PL). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Samuel

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 8 months

🐾 Samuel is looking for a forever home! 🐾 His story isn't easy... First, he ended up at an animal shelter, like most dog stories - he appeared suddenly, no one knew where he came from, or who his owner was... He was taken from the animal shelter where he felt very bad, and ended up in a temporary home. Unfortunately, a difficult life situation forced the caretaker to limit the number of dogs... He's currently very temporarily housed in a hotel, but we can't afford to maintain him, and there are unfortunately not enough funds on the adoption page... We have changed a lot since leaving the animal shelter. From a withdrawn dog, afraid of human hands and touch, he has become a dog who, when he sees a person, first thing he does is jump on their knees, gives a paw and hugs them ❤️‍🩹 That's why it's so hard for us to let him return to the animal shelter... We're afraid his progress might regress, and he'll be stuck at the animal shelter forever... Due to his own past, he can be uncertain, for example, he is afraid of cars passing close by. He is also a very brave dog who nicely tolerates grooming procedures (e.g. trimming nails). However, we are aware that Samuel needs a responsible owner, willing to possibly work with a behaviorist, someone who will understand his needs and character. 📅 Born in 2018 🐶 attitude towards other dogs: rather positive, but previous introduction required 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 home without small children 🔴 weight: about 20 kg 📍 located near Radom 📣 Share, help us find him a family! 📌 If you are interested in adoption, please fill out the questionnaire:

🐾 Samuel szuka domu na zawsze! 🐾 Jego historia nie jest łatwa… Najpierw trafił do schroniska, jak większość historii psów - pojawił się nagle, nikt nie wiedział skąd przyszedł, ani kto jest jego właścicielem... Został zabrany ze schroniska, w którym bardzo źle się czuł, i trafił do domu tymczasowego. Niestety, trudna sytuacja życiowa zmusiła opiekunkę do ograniczenia liczby psów... Jest zabezpieczony bardzo awaryjnie w hoteliku, jednak nie stać nas na jego utrzymanie, a na zrzutce niestety nie ma wystarczająco środków... Sami bardzo sie zmienił od czasu opuszczenia schroniska. Z psiaka wycofanego, bojącego sie ręki i dotyku człowieka, stał się psem, który jak zobaczy człowieka, pierwsze co robi to wskakuje mu na kolana, daje łapkę i sie przytula ❤️‍🩹 Dlatego tak ciężko jest nam pozwolić mu wrócić do schroniska... Boimy się, ze jego progres może się cofnąć, a on utknie w schronisku już na zawsze... Sami ze względu na swoją przeszłość, potrafi być niepewny, np. boi się przejeżdżających blisko aut. Jest też bardzo dzielnym psem, który ładnie znosi zabiegi pielęgnacyjne (np. obcinanie pazurków). Mamy jednak świadomość, że Samuel potrzebuje właściciela odpowiedzialnego, chętnego do ewentualnej pracy z behawiorystą, takiego, który zrozumie jego potrzeby i charakter. 📅 Urodzony w 2018 roku 🐶 stosunek do innych psów: raczej pozytywny, ale wymagane wcześniejsze zapoznanie 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 dom bez małych dzieci 🔴 waga: okolo 20 kg 📍 przebywa w okolicy Radomia 📣 Udostępnij, pomóż Nam znaleźć mu rodzinę! 📌 Jeśli jesteś zainteresowany adopcją wypełnij ankietę: 📞 Kontakt: 517 634 246

About Samuel

What life with Samuel looks like

Samuel is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Fundacja Puszatek in Warszawa.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇵🇱Adopting from Poland

Polish shelters maintain established transport routes to Germany, Netherlands, Austria, and Sweden. Animals leave sterilized and chipped. Adoption fees are typically lower than in Western Europe (often €50–€150) but adopters cover transport.
